    U.S. Rep Deborah Ross on bright spots in the 2024 elections and what comes next

    The 2024 election is now mostly in the rear-view mirror, and as we all know by now, huge change is in the offing thanks to the return of Donald Trump. Trump’s election would appear to bode ill for a host of important and successful federal government initiatives of recent years on such matters as health […]

    Political scientist Prof. Chris Cooper with takeaways from the 2024 elections

    Even though North Carolinians gave the state’s electoral votes to Donald Trump, last Tuesday was, in many ways, a status quo election in our state, in which very little has changed in the way the two major parties are controlling key levers of power.

    The Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC’s Jason Kanawati Stephany on the scourge of hunger

    This year’s election may have come and gone, but one thing that hasn’t gone anywhere in North Carolina this year is hunger.

    The presidential candidates make their final pitch in North Carolina before Election Day.

    As anyone paying any attention is well aware, North Carolina is one of just a handful of U.S. states that will determine the outcome of this year’s presidential election.

    Secretary of Health and Human Services Kody Kinsley on addressing NC’s medical debt crisis

    It’s a sobering fact that one of the largest sources of consumer debt in North Carolina and across the nation is unpaid medical bills.

    It’s been more than two years now since the U.S. Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to abortion care and more than a year since North Carolina enacted a 12-week ban on the procedure – this on top of a raft of other burdensome and medically unnecessary restrictions.
